The Stormfront (website) wikipedia article has been embroiled in a massive edit war for several days. I uncovered evidence of sock puppetry/meat puppetry on a massive scale (see below). The editors continue to scrap other editors' contributions, including one with 11 cites that was claimed to be inappropriate due to "original research".
These editors make the same reverts. I have provided links to two users who sent each other messages on their talk pages, strategizing the reversion of pages to avoid violating the 3RR rule.
The Stormfront forum also contains a post to recruit editors to 'keep an eye on' the Stormfront article dated September 14th:[1]
Notice that one of the poster's username on Stormfront is Poison. As in Poison sf? Stick to the Facts 02:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I am not positive but I assume Poison sf is the head puppet because he is the only one who has been editing the article for over 8 days. This almost certainly involves a few different people.

- Don't know why I'm bothering with this, but I should let people know that most of the users up there are experienced Wikipedia editors who are obviously not sockpuppets of anyone. This nominating user has had some serious problems over the past few days in the Stormfront article, accusing people there of vandalism left and right. He is not being civil at all, and this RFCU is nothing more than an attempted subversion of Wikipedia policies.UberCryxic 13:02, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

- I should add - UberCryxic claims to have replied to an RfC - but he first edited the Stormfront article or posted to the discussion BEFORE the RFC was posted.
RFC date found here:15:59 Sept 16th http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Politics

- UberCryxic first edit to stormfront article: 13:49PM Sept 16th:[11]

- Ok, I invite all editors to click the link above that Stick gave. You'll see my first ever edit to Stormfront was this:
- 17:49, 16 September 2006 (hist) (diff) Stormfront (website) (divided lead in two paragraphs)
- That's 5:49 pm, about two hours after Poison put up the article at RFC. This is just an amazingly bad job at lying by Stick. There is a reason Wikipedia keeps records. The 13:49 PM figure for this article is complete bull; you won't find it anywhere in my edit history.UberCryxic 23:14, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
